As the President is wont to say, "Let me be crystal clear ..." (Now that I think of it, the idea of a Chicago politician being crystal clear on anything is so mind-numbing as to be beyond human ken,)
But I digress.
I want to be clear ...I am no Tea Party Person. Never much of a joiner, to begin with (except for that whole, 37-year Navy thing, that is.)
I hold no political truck with blowhards of either political extreme, whether Pachyderm or Burro. I hold the Rush Limbaughs of the world in as much distaste as I do the Al Frankens.
Frankly, I was heart-sick when a US Congressman of my (Republican) party, and a former Navy pilot at that, was sent to prison for graft a few years ago. But I am JUST as sickened at a US (Democrat) congressman from down south getting sent to jail when he was caught keeping graft money in his office refrigerator.
But maybe one ... just one ... of the Tea Party's battle cries this year has caught my attention and is taking hold.
"Vote the Bums Out!"
As much as navigating the darker corners of Washington is a learned skill-set, mayhap there's something to be said for starting afresh, and getting a whole new bunch of rascals into Congress this year. Maybe if we do that, we'll have at least a few years of Congress representing US ... the people that put them in office ... before they metamorphose into the usual collection of political scoundrels and circus clowns.
So, on Primary and on election day, consider voting the bums ... ALL OF THEM ... out of office and starting anew.
